Awful we could not stay had to leave
Pros:

This property will charge you a refundable deposit of 100 pounds that isn’t in the description when booking so be aware. Check in is only after 4pm unless you pay extra. We got to the room after 4 once we go into the room it had not been cleaned since the previous guests had stayed dirty bedding filthy bathroom with bloody toothpaste in sink p all over toilet towels on floor dirty cups glasses etc. tried to phone staff as this is an unmanned building no staff onsite no answer we left and were phoned back when on way home telling us the cleaner was late. I’m sorry but if you can’t get a room ready for 4 in the afternoon then there is something seriously wrong here. I would not recommend this place. Look elsewhere this one ain’t worth the hassle

Cons:

Property was not what we were expecting when we got there not what was shown in pictures or description. Disappointing to say the least.

Don’t book this hotel as you don’t get what you paid for it’s not an apartment. It’s one room dirty shower just a normal
Pros:

You pay for an extra large bed, but you don’t get it. The shower wasn’t clean no TV channels know Internet and no communication.

Cons:

It says that it’s an apartment it’s only one room

Pros:

Perfect location , very organised system

Cons:

The room was really dirty we had decorative pillows with sperm on it and poo on the toilet wall! Once mentioned this to the customer service ( as there are no people there) he only mentioned that he will let the cleaning crew know!

Served a purpose but poor value and much better quality available nearby.
Pros:

Great location for the beach and the town centre. Easy access (albeit a different entry code for three separate doors / gates).
Dog friendly which is the reason we chose the location.

Cons:

The standard of the room was not reflective of the pictures. Whilst pleasant and clean enough, the room lacked some basics such as toilet roll (half a roll for a three night stay for two people) and a tea towel.

The heater in the room was defective and didn't work properly, therefore it was absolutely freezing at night.

Received an email asking not to speak with the cleaning staff (a very strange thing to ask)
